Spray Sealant Water Behavior

[CleanIT]

Just out of obsess......curiosity ...which of the following do you feel is best at displaying great hydrophobic properties, self cleaning as well as reasonable durability (1 - 3 months)? And which do you prefer among these:

1. Gyeon Wet Coat
2. IGL Premier
3. Sonax BSD

•Of the three products you listed above…
-I only consider Gyeon Wet Coat to be an
actual Spray Sealant.


•As such:
-I must go with Gyeon Wet Coat as a Spray
Sealant that checks all the requisites that
you also listed above.

I’d also go with WetCoat

When spread out evenly over a wet panel using a micro fiber applicator pad, the water repellency and gloss is really impressive. It's hard to not want to use this product. It's just so good and easy to apply when used correctly. I'm curious how HCW would compare. I've used Hydro Blue in the past. Was ok. But this was several years ago. Both products have changed since then. I would expect similar performance. This latest version of Gyeon though is pretty impressive. Compared to TW SNS/GG 3 in 1, I don't recall the hydrophobics being as good as what I'm seeing with Wet Coat. However, over the course of 6 months or so, the other two would surpass Wet Coat.

I’m gonna guess that WetCoat won’t hold a candle to either in the beading department.


Have not used PNS due to application issues i’ve read but beads look stout.

Haven’t used IGL due to manufacturers stated 6mo durability omce opened.

Makes sense. I was going to get the IGL, and still may, due to its ease of use and relatively good durability. Ease of use is something I always look for.

This latest version of Wet Coat though is extremely hydrophobic. Polished Bliss UK site gave the beading a 10/10, not that beading is the end all be all but.....

•Correct me if I’m way off base, but I
thought the criterion of your thread-
starter was centered on the water
behavior of ‘Spray Sealants’?

-If so, isn’t IGL Premier a ‘Coating’…which
would make it a whole other ball of wax?
(Pardon the pun.)

Good point. Anything that is not a true coating I was kind of lumping in there but you're technically correct.

“True” ‘Coating(s)’:

Although IGL says their Premier is a ‘Coating’
(necessitating meticulous prep-work, et al)…
-In your opinion…Why would IGL Premier not
be a “true” ‘Coating’?

I suppose it is. By coating I meant true full blown ceramic coating. Ceramic Spray Waxes, Spray Waxes, Sealants, Si02 sealants etc....I sort of put them all in the same boat. Including the silica rinse on/off products.

One could argue everything is a "coating". Is it coating the surface of your car/paint? Then it's a coating.
